London Symphony Orchestra / Bernard Haitink
Bernard Haitink is internationally renowned for his interpretations of Bruckner and is widely recognised as the world's leading Bruckner conductor. Bruckner's Fourth Symphony, 'Romantic', conjures up visions of mediaeval knights, huntsmen and enchanted woodland, particularly through the prominent use of the horn in the work. One of his most popular pieces, it was treated to many revisions by the composer and this recording features the second version of the 1877/8 Nowak edition (published 1953) with the 1880 Finale.
Bernard Haitink's previous recordings with LSO Live include his Grammy Award-nominated Beethoven Symphony cycle, which also received the title of 'Benchmark' Beethoven Cycle from BBC Music Magazine. Haitink has also released the complete Brahms Symphonies and Strauss's 'Eine Alpensinfonie' to international acclaim. In June 2012 Bernard Haitink conducts Bruckner's Seventh Symphony with the LSO at the Barbican and the Salle Pleyel in Paris.
CONCERT REVIEWS:
"There is no safer pair of hands in this music than Bernard Haitink. His sense of pacing and spacing, of the larger picture beyond the fine detailing, is second to none" The Independent.
"Great hushes, mighty crescendos, time for every duplet and triplet to be grounded yet to resonate with momentum. Not until the scherzo's trio did time seem to stand still in a meditative haze of dance
recalled. This was Bruckner's maximal minimalism at its ost majestic" The Times, 17 June "Haitink had perfect control of its many peaks and plateaux, while his volume control was minutely calibrated ... On a night such as this, the London Symphony Orchestra seems to be a confederacy of virtuosos" London Evening Standard.
